Actress Anne Hitch remains in a coma with severe burns and lung damage after she drove her car home in Los Angeles.
The 53-year-old actress was taken to hospital in critical condition in the Mar Vista district on Friday.
In a joint statement with People magazine, her representatives said: “She has a major lung injury that requires mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention. She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident.”
Reports over the weekend indicated that she was driving fast on a Los Angeles street before crashing into the house.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said the accident caused a “heavy fire” that was put out an hour later. The driver was taken to hospital with “serious injuries”.
Such was the force of the impact that the blue Mini Cooper she was driving penetrated 30 feet into the house.
